Graduate Estimated Cost of Attendance (USD)

Estimated Cost of Attendance in Dollars

The Estimated Cost of Attendance (COA) is an estimate of an average student's expenses while studying at JCU for one semester or a year. The COA includes both direct & indirect costs and is not the bill you receive from JCU.

  • Direct costs: billable charges, such as tuition & fees (minus financial aid), JCU housing (optional) and JCU meal plan (optional).
  • Indirect costs: non-billable expenses associated with attending JCU, such as private housing, books, personal expenses & airfare.

Your actual expenses may be higher or lower than the COA depending on your personal budget and spending habits.

Request a bill statement with your direct costs from the Student Accounts Office: [email protected].
